582 This option allows to increase the default ring buffer size
583 according to the number of CPUs. The value defines the contribution
584 of each CPU as a power of 2. The used space is typically only few
585 lines however it might be much more when problems are reported,
586 e.g. backtraces.
587
588 The increased size means that a new buffer has to be allocated and
589 the original static one is unused. It makes sense only on systems
590 with more CPUs. Therefore this value is used only when the sum of
591 contributions is greater than the half of the default kernel ring
592 buffer as defined by LOG_BUF_SHIFT. The default values are set
593 so that more than 64 CPUs are needed to trigger the allocation.
594
595 Also this option is ignored when "log_buf_len" kernel parameter is

1392 The shmem is an internal filesystem used to manage shared memory.
1393 It is backed by swap and manages resource limits. It is also exported
1394 to userspace as tmpfs if TMPFS is enabled. Disabling this
1395 option replaces shmem and tmpfs with the much simpler ramfs code,
1396 which may be appropriate on small systems without swap.

1737 mmap() skip that if it is given an MAP_UNINITIALIZED flag, thus
1738 providing a huge performance boost. If this option is not enabled,
1739 then the flag will be ignored.

1741 This is taken advantage of by uClibc's malloc(), and also by
1742 ELF-FDPIC binfmt's brk and stack allocator.
1743
1744 Because of the obvious security issues, this option should only be
1745 enabled on embedded devices where you control what is run in
1746 userspace. Since that isn't generally a problem on no-MMU systems,
1747 it is normally safe to say Y here.

1798 Kernel modules are small pieces of compiled code which can
1799 be inserted in the running kernel, rather than being
1800 permanently built into the kernel. You use the "modprobe"
1801 tool to add (and sometimes remove) them. If you say Y here,
1802 many parts of the kernel can be built as modules (by
1803 answering M instead of Y where indicated): this is most
1804 useful for infrequently used options which are not required
1805 for booting. For more information, see the man pages for
1806 modprobe, lsmod, modinfo, insmod and rmmod.
1807
1808 If you say Y here, you will need to run "make
1809 modules_install" to put the modules under /lib/modules/
1810 where modprobe can find them (you may need to be root to do
1811 this).
